I have already said your child is not at risk from this. Again, the only blood present was hers, not yours. Transmission of your HIV to her would require that YOU were actively bleeding for there to be any risk at all.

You can certainly play, kiss, hug and have your children sleep in your bed with you. None of these activities will put them at risk for HIV transmission from you.
